My guest today has been a champion of transformational leadership and challenging the status quo whenever possible and a successful track record to back it up. Keith Krach is the former Under Secretary of State for Economic Growth, Energy, and the Environment.

Consumer habits have changed considerably over the years. No longer are they persuaded to purchase a product because they saw it on TV or saw an ad elsewhere. They make decisions with their pocketbooks and they also want the products they buy to reflect their values. On this episode of All Business, Jeffrey talks with Richard Steel, CEO of Parsec Ventures and author of the book, “Elevated Economics” addressing conscious consumerism. Richard tells us why this isn’t a trend, what companies are maximizing opportunities and capitalizing on them, and even leaves us all with some homework. Buy the book: https://elevatedeconomics.org/ Become a member of the C-Suite Network: https://c-suitenetwork.com/executive-membership Learn more about your ad choices.

Today we're replaying a conversation from last year with Rolanda Watts. She's had a varied career including being a writer, speaker, journalist, voice actor, and comedienne just to name a few. With all that’s going on in the U.S. today Jeffrey and Rolanda had an honest and respectful conversation into race relations. Rolanda says it’s important to have an open dialogue between races and we have to confront society's demons head-on. For as bad as things are, Rolanda believes we will come out the other side of this unrest better adding “Crap makes gardens grow.” She also channeled a conversation she had with the late poet Maya Angelou who reminded us all to be a rainbow in somebody else’s cloud.  Join the C-Suite Network: https://c-suitenetwork.com/executive-membership Learn more about your ad choices.

Just in time for Valentine's Day, we're replaying a timely conversation from the past year.On Valentine’s Day of 2018, Steve Bustin’s phone rang. The woman on the other end said, “You don’t know me, but I thought I knew you.” Steve later found out scammers used his social media pictures on several online profiles, including dating sites and Facebook. This sent the happily married man on a journey he never expected to embark on -- straight into the path of dating scammers. In fact, the BBC featured his story on the program For Love or Money last year. During this interview, Steve lays out the scammers' strategies and how to protect yourself from the most common gullibility test.Join the C-Suite Network: https://c-suitenetwork.com/executive-membership Learn more about your ad choices.
